Kildee Statement on Conflicting Flint Water Crisis Testimony

October 7, 2017
Press Release

Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) issued the following statement today after a top state of Michigan official testified in court that Michigan Governor Rick Snyder knew about the Flint-area outbreaks of Legionnaires' disease sooner than he has previously acknowledged, including in sworn testimony before Congress:

"Mr. Hollins' testimony raises concerning questions about the Governor's statements that need to be answered. I have already spoken to the Ranking Member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Congressman Elijah Cummings, and asked that the committee immediately look into these conflicting statements. I am confident that the committee will look into this matter right away and get to the truth.

"People have to tell the truth when they testify before Congress. No one is above the law and misleading Congress is a very serious offense."
